Together, We Shape the Future!

For 25 years, we’ve worked to give every student the strongest possible start. Because nothing matters more than their future. In 2024, English Speaking Class was one of only three bilingual English programmes in Sweden to receive full approval from the Swedish Schools Inspectorate. A result built on high quality teaching and students who feel safe and supported.

Erasmus+

Erasmus+ gives students the chance to discover the world firsthand. Through projects on AI, sustainability and social inclusion, they learn to collaborate, communicate and think globally. It makes language come alive, strengthens curiosity, and connects learning to real-life experience.
